Terror of Wu

A flash of chilling blade light stabbed toward Wu's neck like lightning from an extremely tricky angle. The strike was clean and decisive, smooth as flowing water, without a single unnecessary movement. As a jonin, Eldest brother clearly had genuine skill; his blade techniques had obviously been honed in battle.

"Using shuriken from the people behind him as a feint to cover the man in front of me? What a clever scheme." Wu spoke calmly. Though his expression could not be seen behind the mask, a smile curled at the Corner of the Mouth beneath it.

Wu seemed not to have reacted to the swift strike. "Pfft!!!" The tachi gleaming with Cold Light fiercely swept across Wu's neck, and blood immediately sprayed from it.

"Did it work?!" Second brother froze at the sight, then was overjoyed. However, Big Brother, who was far more calculating, found it hard to believe. Could the legendary, unfathomably powerful Wu really have been killed so easily? It did not feel real, so he remained wary and did not relax in the slightest.

The morning Rainwater continued to patter down, mixing with the blood on the ground and the cherry blossoms as it slowly flowed into the distance. Wu's corpse was gradually covered by Rainwater and cherry blossoms, as though he had truly died.

Seeing that Wu's corpse still showed no abnormalities, Big Brother finally relaxed slightly. But then he thought, Something feels strange. With such a great reputation, he shouldn't be this weak, should he? And his goal is... As if suddenly remembering something, his expression changed. He spun around and roared, "Lao Er, watch your back!!!!"

Hearing Eldest brother's warning, Lao Er's chubby face abruptly changed. "Boom!!!!!" With an enormous explosion, the carriage behind him instantly shattered. A Black Shadow leaped out of the carriage in an instant, flashing to a landing not far behind it. Wu appeared in the two men's Line of Sight, completely unharmed, with the Cherry Blossom Country Daimyo's daughter likewise standing safely beside him.

"Damn it!!! We were played!!!" Both men looked exceptionally grim. The corpse of Wu that had originally lain motionless on the ground slowly vanished like air, while the blood that had been spilled across the ground also gradually disappeared before their eyes, as if nothing had happened at all.

"Genjutsu!!! When?!" Big Brother's expression immediately changed, while Second brother's face darkened to the extreme, cold sweat slowly beading across his forehead.

They had not noticed at all when they had fallen under the genjutsu, nor had they seen Wu form hand seals. It had happened without a sound or trace. Such an enemy was simply too dangerous. Only now did they truly realize the terror of Wu.

Wu removed the white strip sealing the girl's mouth and used a kunai to cut the rope binding her hands. "You're free," he said calmly.

Goto Yurika wore a Surprised Look as well. Just moments ago, she had been considering finding an opportunity for Self-termination, so her enemies could not use her to gain leverage over Father. Yet in an instant, she had been rescued. The change had come far too quickly.

"Y-you were sent by Father?" Goto Yurika asked uncertainly. Anyone capable of rescuing her so quickly had to be extremely strong. Yet less than a day had passed since she was kidnapped. Where could Father have found such a powerful ninja to save her? Even ninja from the Five Great Shinobi Villages could not have arrived so quickly.

"That's right. Your father Spent Money to hire me, but I'm not a ninja from the Five Great Shinobi Villages. I'm merely a Bounty Hunter Ninja." Wu seemed to see through Goto Yurika's doubts as he answered calmly.

"Is that so?" Goto Yurika immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Since Father had sent him, her danger was temporarily over. She would not have to be used as a hostage to threaten Father.

"What do we do now, Big Brother?!" Second brother Swallowed, looking at Wu with fear and madness in his eyes. "Damn it!!!" Dense beads of sweat also seeped from Big Brother's forehead. Wu was not giving off any powerful Aura, yet his Calm and Composed demeanor brought them even more terrifying, crushing pressure.

"Want to run? Where did all that toughness from before go? Didn't you want to kill me and avenge your brother? Come on." Wu laughed softly, a trace of mockery flashing through the crimson pupils visible in the Eye Slits of his white mask.

"Don't Look Down On me!!!!!!" Lao Er could no longer endure the horrifying pressure. With a savage expression, he roared and yanked out his tachi from behind his back before Charging Over at Wu.

"Don't act rashly!!!" Eldest brother's expression abruptly changed as he shouted, but it was already too late. Second brother seemed not to hear him, and the Ninja Sword in his hand fiercely Chopped Down at Wu.

Goto Yurika looked fearfully at the chubby man Charging Over with a twisted face and tightly grasped the sleeve of Wu's kimono. "Futile Effort!!" Wu smiled calmly, seemingly not taking the Ninja Sword falling toward him seriously.

"Pfft!!!!!" Blood sprayed. A blue Light Sword had somehow already Pierced Through the fat man's neck, while the tachi swinging down froze in midair.

"Th-this is...!!!!" Eldest brother stared at Wu's left palm in terror. A sphere of blue Chakra slowly rotated in Wu's palm, and from within it extended a slender Sharp Sword formed from Chakra, directly Piercing Through Lao Er's neck.

The madness in the fat man's eyes slowly faded, replaced by boundless terror and unwillingness. He kept making muffled sounds with his mouth, but no sound ever emerged.

"His throat has already been destroyed, so naturally he can't speak." Wu smiled faintly. The blue Sharp Sword gradually dissipated, and the fat man slowly fell while clutching his throat, his gaze gradually losing focus.
